THE TALK OF THE DAY.


1t IS interesting to notice how much space tho
Western papers give to religious news Here, for
instance Il recent issue of "The Denver News"
which gives twO-column report of sermon preached
by the Rev. Myron Reed, three and q half column
report of Dean Harris In the cathedral two
and three column report Of Dr. Talmage's sermon
column about a local meeting of the Salvation Army
and two columns reports of other sermons preached
the day before in Denver. In other words, The
News devoted eleven columns and quarter to re-
lgious news so many other papers In the West
either equal excel The Denver News" In this re-
spect that one inclined question the truth Of tho
oftrepeated statement that the people of the West
are wholly given up to materla, things.
